Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp (soft tissue inside your teeth containing blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue) becomes inflamed or diseased. During root canal treatment, your dentist removes the diseased pulp. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned and sealed. If the infected pulp is not removed, pain and swelling can result, and your tooth may have to be removed.Causes of an infected pulp could include:• a deep cavity• repeated dental procedures• a cracked or broken tooth• injury to the tooth (even if there’s not a visible crack or chip)If you continue to care for your teeth and gums your restored tooth could last a lifetime. However, regular checkups are necessary; a tooth without its nerve can still develop cavities or gum disease. Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile.

Hi lybrate-user,
treatment plan to make your teeth white goes as follows: visit the dentist, who will first do clean up of your teeth this will remove all the extrinsic stains and deposits present on the teeth & reveal the original colour of your teeth.
After that if you want more brighter teeth
you can undergo teeth whitening or bleaching treatment for further enhancement of shade.
Your dentist will be best judge to decide
whether home bleaching or in office bleaching will provide you with the desired results.
You can try some commercially available whitening toothpastes after bleaching to maintain the effect for bit longer time.
Whitening toothpastes can also be used without bleaching treatment for very minor yellowish discolouration but cannot give you satisfactory results in more complex situations.
